Do you think the announcement by "Apple" has any merit to it? Will you change your setup in any way? What say you?
yes i know Hoster is only a Window based product. But i'm sure other companies will follow Apple's example.

I've used the same computers in smokey bars 5-7 nights a week for 5+ years and have never had any problems. I vacume the computers a couple times a years for dust and have never noticed any residue. I do however see some discoloration around the outside of the case around the air intake vents. The only thing I would worry about is a build up of goo on the laser lens of the cdroms but my cdroms are still working great after 5+ years.
A number of years ago I had 2 karaoke players start having problems reading cdg's after the bar used a fog machine one night for halloween. Although only anecdotal evidence I don't let the bars use fog machines around my computers. I think the fog machine juice and nicotine build up are similiar things but the fog machines pump it out on a much larger scale (pure speculation).
